Official Bid to Host the 64th AOCAF Cup

Nation Background
Known throughout the multiverse for its majority population of sapient equines, Equestria is a diverse and advanced island nation located in southwestern Atlantian Oceania. Ruled primarily by a benevolent council of alicorn Princesses, Equestria is a constitutional monarchy in name, though the Princesses hold considerably more political power than in most constitutional monarchies and thus play an active role in the country's government. Technologically, the nation is very advanced for one that only emerged from isolation only a century ago, combining technology imported from its allies with magic to quickly modernize without the pollution seen in many countries which undergo rapid industrialization. Described by many as a pleasant utopia inhabited by a friendly and diverse population of numerous sapient species which happily welcomes foreigners, Equestria is a natural host nation with booming tourism industry and robust sports infrastructure.

Resume
The user behind Equestria is one of NS Sports' more experienced hosts, having co-hosted eight WCC events, four previous AOCAF Cups, as well as numerous other smaller tournaments such as the Di Bradini Cup, World Bowl, World Baseball Classic, World Cup of Hockey, and International Basketball Championship.

The overall format will be simple enough, regardless of numbers: a single round robin group stage held in Equestria followed by a knockout stage.

16 Teams: 4 Groups of 4; Top 2 to QF
20 Teams: 4 Groups of 5; Top 2 to QF

Scorinator & RP Bonus
If chosen, I will use the latest version of xkoranate with the SQIS formula and style mods. The latest AOCAF rankings will be used for the tournament. RPs will be judged based on quality and creativity over quantity and frequency. Bonuses will be fairly generous to encourage active RPing by all participants and a roster bonus will also be available, as usual.
